Practice Exam & Assessment Tool (PEAT)

Take a practice exam

One of the best ways to prepare for the national physical therapy exam (NPTE) is by taking a practice exam. FSBPT developed the practice exam and assessment tool (PEAT), a timed, computer-based, multiple-choice practice exam for NPTE candidates.

PEAT helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses prior to taking the actual exam. Questions have been developed by experienced clinicians and item writers in the same format as the NPTE.

Here's why PEAT is such a valuable tool. PEAT offers:

The same format and type of questions as the actual NPTE.

Immediate and automatic scoring.

A detailed performance report by content area and system.

Explanations and rationales behind correct answers.

References to help you increase your knowledge.

** Update: Through the October testing dates, candidates will receive the option of taking a PEAT that corresponds to the October testing forms content and standards, or the 2018 versions of the content outlines and standards. After each October test date, PEAT forms will ONLY be available for the 2018 content outlines.
